In the news

Hot off the presses from Wales On Sunday, Key Battles: Cardiff Central has a few interesting things to say.

With a sizeable Muslim community and huge student vote, it is the Lib Dems' key Welsh target, with candidate Jenny Willott, 31, hoping to cash in on anger about the Iraq war and university top-up fees.

JW and JOJ are getting more exciting by the day...

Rebellious Labour MP Jon Owen Jones - who voted and spoke against both bills - held onto the seat in 2001 with a tiny 659 majority.

Now Willott, with a large team of 20-somethings around her, is pushing hard by urging voters to ignore Jones' voting record and insisting a vote for him is "a vote for Blair".

This is obviously a big concern. The Lib Dems are going to make Iraq a big issue for the coming week and the anti-Blair Backing Blair are also pushing Iraq to the top of the agenda (plus more from perfect.co.uk).

JOJ hits back...

But defiant Jones is taking his yellow "attack book" of Lib Dem policies to homes, saying people don't know what they're voting for.

"We didn't start it, they did," he said. "They started negative campaigning, we're just responding to it.

"I don't honestly believe more than a tiny fraction of the constituency would vote Liberal if they knew their crime policies."

And there is little love for the other candidates...

The Tories and Plaid Cymru, neither of whom have a hope of winning the seat, field Gotz Mohindra and Richard Grigg respectively.

Frank Hughes is standing for UKIP and Raja Raiz is running for the anti-war Respect party.

New Millennium Bean Party candidate Captain Beany's views on the war are unknown, but he was once named "fourth most eccentric man in Britain".
